Hi Guys,
Please could someone help - I'm doing my first dressage test in about 15 years tomorrow! Is it compulsary to have a white numnah for dressage? It's prelim 14 at riding club level.
If anyone could answer fairly quickly as I may have to beg / borrow or steal one!!
Many thanks,
Nicky
 
No, it isn't essential... Any dark coloured numnah is acceptable

Many thanks guys - panic over then!!!
It's been a few years since I last did a dressage test & it just dawned on me that I may have to have a white numnah!!
 
Oooh good luck! I am working up to do my first dressage comp in June - it never occurred to me that I might need a white numnah so thanks for posting this. I know now that I won't have to beg borrow or steal one.
I'll have a list of questions before I start competing.
 
I...you dont mind if i ask a question do you???
well, i dont have a white saddle cloth, but i do have a very light pink saddle cloth and a sheepskin half pad.....should i wear the v.v.light pink saddle cloth with the half pad, or a brown numnah with half pad???

There are no hard and fast rules on colour of saddlecloth, but most people either wear white or cream. Never seen anyone wear pink but I see no reason why you could not wear it, personally I would go with the brown numnah purely because I think that would look smarter, especially with your lovely chestnut. BTW you will have to ditch those bit rings.
 
yerp thanks forget_me_not and sirenaxVI!!!!
i will go for a brown numnah and the half pad...got my white gloves...gt them from badminton for 3 pounds!!! reall pro ones to! i know i was well chufd lmao
